Abstract: In this paper, a runoff simulation model for water quantity and turbidity is proposed to predict river-ceasing phenomenon, which is a serious problem in the Yellow River basin. A distributed runoff model (Hydro-BEAM) is applied to this large continental river, adding a new function for calculation of turbidity concentration of the mesh and in the river. The turbidity behavior is formulated in the sediment production and transportation processes. The proposed simulation in the Yellow River was carried out for the land use and hydrological data of 1998.
